## Overview

Automate responses when Outlook delivers a new message or when an event is removed from the calendar. Teams commonly route escalations, file tickets, or alert attendees of cancellations.

<Tip>
  Connect Outlook in **Tools & Integrations** and ensure the trigger is enabled for your deployment.
</Tip>

## Enabling the Outlook Trigger

1. Open your deployment in CrewAI AOP
2. Go to the **Triggers** tab
3. Locate **Outlook** and switch the toggle to enable

## Example: Summarize a new email

```python
from outlook_message_crew import OutlookMessageTrigger

crew = OutlookMessageTrigger().crew()
crew.kickoff({
    "crewai_trigger_payload": outlook_payload,
})
```

The crew extracts sender details, subject, body preview, and attachments before generating a structured response.

## Testando Localmente

Teste sua integração de trigger do Outlook localmente usando a CLI da CrewAI:

```bash
# Visualize todos os triggers disponíveis
crewai triggers list

# Simule um trigger do Outlook com payload realista
crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received
```

O comando `crewai triggers run` executará sua crew com um payload completo do Outlook, permitindo que você teste sua lógica de parsing antes do deployment.

<Warning>
  Use `crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received` (não `crewai run`) para simular execução de trigger durante o desenvolvimento. Após o deployment, sua crew receberá automaticamente o payload do trigger.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

- Verify the Outlook connector is still authorized; the subscription must be renewed periodically
- Teste localmente com `crewai triggers run microsoft_outlook/email_received` para ver a estrutura exata do payload
- If attachments are missing, confirm the webhook subscription includes the `includeResourceData` flag
- Review execution logs when events fail to match—cancellation payloads lack attendee lists by design and the crew should account for that
- Lembre-se: use `crewai triggers run` (não `crewai run`) para simular execução de trigger
